"I didn't ask for any of this. I didn't ask to be some kind of hero.
But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know?
Sure, I've read the books. I've seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little bluebirds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. There's still a yellow brick road—but even that's crumbling.
What happened? Dorothy.
They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.
My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas.
I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked.
I've been trained to fight.
And I have a mission."
Review:
OMG I AM SO FRUSTRATED. I don’t think this is giving anything away because it’s on the BACK OF THE BOOK. THE ENDING IS ON THE BACK OF THE BOOK. Oh, you thought it was describing the plot????? WELL IT WASN’T. Readers could have skipped reading this entire book because the ending was on the FRIGGIN back. Yet another book that keeps telling you something important is going to happen and it doesn’t actually happen. LIKE THE TITLE OF THE BOOK. I mean again, I understand the author is making a series but, again, breadcrumbs. Give us something to satiate us until we read the next book. If the back of the book was ACTUALLY the plot, from the BEGINNING, I think we would have been way more satisfied! To slap it onto the end, and by that I mean the last FEW PAGES, was careless of the author and frustrating to the reader.
Overall, I don’t really recommend this book. I felt like the quest kept changing for the main character and it was hard to remain interested. Also, another frustrating thing, was some characters were just tossed aside. We would start to care about them and then, it was like the author/main character didn’t seem to care about them IN THE LEAST. For those of you who have read this, why was Gert more important that Indigo huh??????? WHY????? We just FORGOT Indigo existed a third of the way through the book, like she never mattered.
But I digress. I could go on and on about what I didn’t like about this book, but I’ll end it here. Is this something you want to experience for yourself? If you read it, how do you feel about it? Leave a comment and let me know!!
